Windows Live Messenger stalls out

Posted: 07-02-2008, 12:42 AM
Hey there,

So Windows Live Messenger has got me down. I've been running the latest
version on Windows XP and I've found that it's been slow to start up when it
starts up at all. Nothing else on my computer has been running noticably
slower, just Messenger.

I thought it was a virus or spyware but I've yet to come across anything on
any of the sweeps and scans I've performed.

I'm at my wits end here. Is there a way to solve this problem? Something I
can do to speed it up?

I've noticed some other people have had a similar problem but I've yet to
find a workable solution. Thanks in advance for your help,

- Mike A

The latest McAfee and Spybot Search and Destroy. I've updated both today
before running my scans and searches.
